Dude, You're a Fag

Dude, You're a Fag is a thought-provoking ethnography drawn from 18 months of research in a diverse, working-class high school, exploring the complex issues of sexuality and gender identity among teenagers. C. J. Pascoe offers a unique perspective by examining masculinity as both a gendered and sexual construct, highlighting how notions of "fag" serve as social mechanisms to enforce gender norms. The book provides insightful analysis into how masculinity is shaped through social practices and disciplinary processes within the high school environment.
